That's not a PHP problem. PHP just processes form values sent by the browser. It is up to the browser to pick the field names when the form is submitted. Anyway, I think that browsers will always pick the field names from the NAME attribute to keep backwards compatibility. Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
